been comparable. To being
00:04:37
a disappointment because people came out
of the break in to get their news from
00:04:43
that country trying to move
forward out the year for good.
00:04:50
But that is the market back to normal
according to people on the ground Mohamed

political analysts and in Gambia measure
00:05:00
up public demonstrations were held on
Sunday against the government of President.

00:05:28
This is a village. Human
rights activists speaking at
00:05:33
a rally this weekend. And while the copy
updates coming up right here the wreck of
00:05:40
.
00:05:54
The government of Nigeria imposed to dawn
curfew on Sunday in Central Plateau state
00:06:01
this was after I'd listen 70 people died
in communal clashes between farmers and
00:06:06
semi-nomadic cargoes reports say that
strife in the decades old conflict has
00:06:12
escalated sharply this year but equally
in the ethnically and religiously diverse
00:06:18
hinterland States known as the middle belt
and in Mali communal violence between
00:06:24
hardass and family which originated
partly doing Ling Fatherland has spiraled
00:06:31
into
00:06:31
a cycle of violence and reprised or attacks
that has killed hundreds of people in
00:06:38
the middle belt government and local
sources said that at least 16 full on your
00:06:42
heart has have been killed in suspected
ethnic clashes in the center of the country
00:06:48
and if your peers health
ministry says at least
00:06:51
a 2nd person has died following
the blast site a day at
00:06:56
a political rally in the few opium capital
of. Officials say 150 people were
00:07:02
injured in the explosion if your peers
new prime minister I'd be Ahmed had just
00:07:07
finished his speech at the
rally in the capital when
00:07:11
a grenade exploded
Meanwhile the steel P.S.
00:07:14
That broadcast to say is that at least
30 people including the capital's deputy
00:07:19
chief of police have been arrested in
connection with the blast there's still
00:07:23
a lot of speculation as to the people
and the motive behind this attack with
00:07:28
speculation. That elements within the ruling
party were not happy with the Paris of
00:07:34
what many say are remarkable reforms and
that the new prime minister for context on
00:07:40
what is happening in a few
Opiah I reached Mohamed
00:07:43
a demo an Ethiopian political analyst
and editor here in Washington D.C.
00:07:50
He said big disappointment
because people came to celebrate
00:07:54
a lot of in togetherness and
00:07:56
a country that is trying to move forward
after years of protest and years of time
00:08:01
or. Should not have happened but the city
is you know Maher let's back to normal
00:08:06
according to people on the ground and
moving forward and they have been you know
00:08:12
people are lining up today to donate
to the victims and obviously there are
00:08:17
a lot of people instead of covering the
you have an idea who might want to cause
00:08:25
all these kind of my ham to have
people who are celebrating it's
00:08:28
a very difficult to you know silently
pinpoint who might be behind this but if you
00:08:35
look at. The part Aaron of change taking
place in Ethiopia the fast pace of
00:08:42
change and that is happening towards
00:08:46
a more democratic nation in opening up and
obviously not everyone is happy with in
00:08:52
this case the stylish mentor that has that
that had money all polity on security
00:08:59
matters and when we're deeply involved in
00:09:02
a can in the cab fares an economic
development where not happy with some of the
00:09:07
actions that the new prime minister
I do you know how mad is taking in
00:09:11
a lot of people you know when the incident
happened. Quickly pointed their fingers
00:09:17
at this time policeman and the so called
The Deep State. But also when you look at
00:09:23
the people who have been arrested so far
29 federal police officers including. The
00:09:29
deputy commander of the Decider by.
The city police commission was
00:09:36
arrested so it seems like. They
were arrested for the lax in
00:09:42
security in some people say
00:09:46
a leg that they were suspected of even maybe
giving cover so I think investigation
00:09:52
is ongoing there's
00:09:53
a lot of details here and I think they have
been people deserve some clarity as to
00:10:00
what had been they know obviously this is
00:10:01
a very sensitive time then the government
should handle it very carefully because
00:10:06
if you blame the whole ethnic
group for these same Hennie as
00:10:13
crime that could backfire in leading
another direction for it is
00:10:17
a very delicate matter that needs to be
handled professionally made from. The
00:10:24
government and being transparent about
how many people that I arrested in they
00:10:28
missed against it is ongoing but so far the
majority of Ethiopians think that this
00:10:33
stablish meant the big states behind somehow
made there's been obviously lots of
00:10:38
reforms undertaken by Prime Minister IB
Ahmed which one of these many reforms
00:10:45
the political economic Which one do you
think are more likely to be side discount
00:10:51
of pushback from the whatever you call
the deep stead of the stablish meant.
00:10:57
Generally days time this month is not happy
to. Mooch the country's headed in the
00:11:03
fast pace of change for example let me
give you 3 examples the French one is ran
00:11:07
and got tried to get out position later
it would be about 7 words really as the
00:11:12
prime minister kindly of Ned's comment
something to that effect that he fought.
00:11:18
Tooth and nail to take your Israelis and
he faced opposition in doing that and when
00:11:25
the decision to normalize relations
with Eritrea came down even though. The
00:11:32
Executive Committee of the E.P.A. D.F.
00:11:34
The ruling party voted unanimously to
restore overtone normalizing relations.
00:11:42
T P I left it to Graham People's Liberation
Front came out through the statement
00:11:46
not necessarily opposing it but sort of
going around it to say that the prime
00:11:51
minister was moving fast and he
did not consult with the public
00:11:58
properly even though that was in
00:12:01
a lot of fits of mind an
oxymoron because this is not
00:12:04
a party that is known for transparency or
getting people in puts in decision making
00:12:11
in Thirdly when. He P.L.F.
00:12:15
Issued
00:12:15
a statement one of the more remarkable
things that they pointed out was that. All
00:12:22
the guard. Or the occupying
seats and not doing them
00:12:26
a change in abusing power the whole way and
forced into retirement should should be
00:12:33
honored in that they also suggested that.
00:12:40
That is still ongoing within. The
executive branch it specifically I would.
00:12:48
Think that fell within the security and
intelligence up tight as it were in NY They
00:12:55
were not happy. It would seem. That.
Even though the prime minister and
00:13:02
the full power point. Direct.
00:13:09
People to government they're quite.
Clear that they're losing power and.
00:13:18
They wanted more important more control
over not just appointment of government
00:13:24
officials but also the direction the country
is headed which is that they would.
00:13:30
Want to make the status quo because
the status quo benefits them. And
00:13:37
if European political analyst and editor
I reached him at his home here in
00:13:42
Washington D.C.
00:13:43
a Major public demonstration was held
in the Gambia on Sunday against the
00:13:48

Felt welcome here in Russia Senegal
missed the chance to put themselves in
00:23:42
a good position to qualify for the
round of 16 as they were forced to
00:23:46
a 22 draw by Japan in group page of the
Russia 2084 walk up on Sunday both teams
00:23:52
are now in 4 points after 2 games with
Senegal face in Colombia in their final
00:23:57
group game while Japan will take on
Poland both on Thursday I spoke to some
00:24:02
covering the World Cup here in Moscow this
is what they had to say about setting
00:24:06
goals performance I
think this is a 22 draw
00:24:09
a mix of the group very interesting
because as you know it's a Bun B.
00:24:14
To Colombia to identify as much Senegal
to be to Poland biosimilars Coraline and
00:24:19
the fast much in their 1st my to the group
so it means both teams are level on
00:24:24
$4.00 going to get some of those scored and
the moguls conceded is the same so this
00:24:30
is our next the group fairly
exciting Well I think it's not such
00:24:34
a good result for Senegal. They are happy
that they have avoided they are defeated
00:24:40
in this and this game I mean you don't
take the lead twice on here really the way
00:24:44

have no business of the World Cup If it's
00:24:49
unfortunate is going to get

Hello everyone I'm Steve Norman Turkish
president rage of Tayyip Erdogan was
00:29:23
proclaimed the winner early today of
a landmark election them in J.-U.
00:29:27
The secular leaning opposition candidate
was about 22 percentage points behind or
00:29:33
to one who declared victory for the
People's Alliance an electoral coalition
00:29:38
between his ruling Justice Development
Party and the small Nationalist Movement
00:29:42
parties saying that they have
00:29:43
a parliamentary majority in the 600 member
assembly Reuters Emily weather is in
00:29:50
Istanbul as
00:29:51
a result of incoming in history the 9th
you can have people celebrating on the
00:29:56
streets people hoping that calms and even
the occasional fire away from the main
00:30:02
opposition the Republican
People's Party the C.H.P.
00:30:05
Say it's still too early to concede
defeat. In the days running up to this
00:30:12
thankfulness how to enjoy
00:30:14
a hundreds of thousands to the streets
and finally rallies sitting around.
00:30:23
Positions opposes carrying bags of ballot
papers that they train haven't been
00:30:28
counted as having many
of them. Position and.
00:30:35
Possible. There are some concerns about
the fantasy these elections under the
00:30:41
Constitution that comes into effect now
after this the president will hold
00:30:46
considerable power and critics say that
these enhanced Palis simply put too much
00:30:52
into the hands of one person and the techie
lacks the checks and balances about the
00:30:57
executive presidency.
00:31:04
And
00:31:04
a referendum. Positions tackle the
country's economy and. Rebels
00:31:11
in the south of the country bring Iraq and
Syria that is Reuters Emily with her and
00:31:17
Istanbul for some perspective on Turkey's
election real ways Victor speaks with
00:31:22
their own staunch he is
00:31:24
a resident senior fellow of the roofie
career resetter for the Middle East at the
00:31:29
Atlantic Council. Interesting. To par.
00:31:37
And at the present there was a total of
about 52 percent of the vote so that's
00:31:42
a clear victory that means
that he won't have to do
00:31:45
a 2nd round runoff. At the parliament's
his coalition which is including the far
00:31:51
right that Shalit. Also did well and defying
all expectations but I would say the
00:31:57
story of the selection is that
his coalition partner the M.H.C.
00:32:01
The far right Ashleigh got to 11 percent
of the vote where they had been polling
00:32:06
around 5 percent before the polls open
what does this tell you about the Turkish
00:32:09
voter base electorate of Mark you know after
all these years of him and power he is
00:32:13
still there and he still popular politician
I think what has everybody including me
00:32:19
scratching their heads is how far right
party. Well they had fractured into about
00:32:26
a year ago they didn't even campaign and
yet they were polling around 11 percent at
00:32:31
the moment and that really propelled
party to victory toward. Troll over the
00:32:37
government do you suspect voter fraud I
mean it's always hard to say I mean and I
00:32:42
hate to make make allegations that are
are. Certainly I think what I would say is
00:32:46
that there was particularly amongst the
opposition about that number about that 11
00:32:51
percent number and how do they get it. But
I would say you know the opposition was
00:32:56
out there they were part of ballot boxes
that were found on internal polls and it
00:33:02
seems to be
00:33:03
a black swan Alexion work where nobody
saw this coming as the far right party
00:33:07
completely over performance. And some of
the opposition parties are under for Aaron
00:33:13
how is he going to use his new executive
powers you know I don't mean basically the
00:33:17
status quo. Is he has been ruling under
state of emergency and the failed coup and
00:33:24
it said that they will lift the state of
emergency after this election what this
00:33:27
election is it's the 1st election perturb
these executive presidency so which means
00:33:33
Commodore is officially consolidated in
the office of. Kind of to see the prime
00:33:37
minister is eliminated. Parliament now
because it is controlled by his party the
00:33:44
want the very few elements that they
could check his power and so now I could
00:33:48
rubber stamp it all over the want all the
time and we're now living in the universe
00:33:53
for that at least the next 5 years well I
was going to ask you then is this spill
00:33:56
the end of Global Editor its vision of
00:33:58
a secular Turkey I mean I think
what the election did show is that
00:34:01
a lot of people don't like him until it's
really hard to turn it over to overcoming
00:34:06
these that culture isn't Turkey I mean
they're staring down potential problem with
00:34:11
least on the of the economy and you know
people forget they'll be misspoken lection
00:34:16
and then Mark 20 feet on the Hill want
to control it or are corrupt you know so
00:34:20
we're going to have that whole another
election cycle pretty quickly here and he's
00:34:25
going to be presiding over
00:34:27
a troubled economy so we're going to have
to see how he governs and how he how he
00:34:32
takes to spend days and forwards in the
far right actually trigger that complete
00:34:39
arguing about
00:34:40
a 3rd version. Of the article but what
does this mean for the Middle East Europe
00:34:44
and US I would say it's the
worst outcome for the U.S.
00:34:47
. Because the far right policies
coalition are. To Kurdish and
00:34:54
so you're going to have a hawkish
and inward looking A.K.P.
00:35:00
. If you're more nationalist strong.

President props decision to reverse
00:37:00
a policy of separating immigrant
families coming across the U.S.
00:37:04
Southern border came in the wake of
00:37:06
a political firestorm in recent days be
away national correspondent Jim alone has
00:37:11
more on the political fallout from the
president's reversal President Trump center
00:37:17
stage at a political rally in
Minnesota falling to make immigration
00:37:22
a central issue in this year's congressional
election campaign if you want to
00:37:26
create a You made
00:37:28
a lot of immigration then you need
to retire the Democrats and elect
00:37:35
Republicans to. Finally secure the
border just hours earlier the president
00:37:42
reversed his controversial policy of
separating children from their parents so
00:37:48
we're going to have strong very strong
borders but we're going to keep the families
00:37:52
together Trump backed away from the
separation after an outcry around the country
00:37:58
that included protests. After the release
of children crying out for their
00:38:05
parents. The outrage crossed party lines
00:38:12
and included Democratic Congressman
Elijah Cummings. Agreed that we
00:38:18
will not. Mentally and
00:38:25
hidden away from public view.
Is that. This is the United
00:38:32
States of America advocates of
00:38:35
a tough border policy like art Arthur sided
with the president that large unplugs
00:38:41
been vigil would suggest that we are starting
to you know creep back up the numbers
00:38:46
we saw during the Obama administration the
trouble administration needed to take
00:38:50
action to respond and this is an appropriate
response but many religious leaders
00:38:55
were critical including Catholic monsignor
Kevin Sullivan to use the means of
00:39:01
separating
00:39:02
a child from his or her mother just as
completely unacceptable far out for us as
00:39:09
Americans the immediate political fall out
could hurt the president says analyst
00:39:16
Larry saboteur. It's
00:39:18
a public relations disaster area for the
truth and inspiration and just about
00:39:24
everybody but Truong and his very
strongly in the immigration aids seem
00:39:31
to realize that but sabotage also says
the president's tough stance is aimed at
00:39:37
shoring up his political views the head of
the November election of course they're
00:39:42
focusing on their base they're trying to
make sure that they're going to show up
00:39:46
and go it could make some difference in
close midterm elections trumps poll numbers
00:39:51
have improved of late is especially in the
wake of this summit with North Korea but
00:39:56
the surveys were taken before the firestorm
over separating families at the border
00:40:03
Jim Malone V.O.A.
00:40:04
News Washington and as we've been
reporting many times immigration is
00:40:09
a big issue among European nations
but leaders of 16 countries survived
00:40:14
a frank talk of the emergency meeting
on immigration and emerged with
00:40:19
a beer of some somewhat of
00:40:20
a common purpose on Sunday and German
Chancellor Merkel said the meeting produced
00:40:25
in her words
00:40:26
a lot of goodwill to resolve differences
over migrants Merkel and French. As
00:40:31
Emmanuel McCrone held out little hope they
said would be available to all nations
00:40:36
that would they would come together
and come up with some sort of single
00:40:40
immigration plan Italy's new government
remains opposed to an influx of migrants so
00:40:45
for some perspective on the European
migrants some of the always Laurie London
00:40:51
speaks with Paris based journalists
Catherine field this man is some of her was
00:40:56
originally meant to bring to get this on
the 8 European Union countries and it was
00:41:00
16 European countries came together heads
of government and these are the to clean
00:41:07
the countries that are most affected by the
migration influx so in particular hope
00:41:14
we're looking at was was initially has
been making the running on this is really
00:41:18
has been saying for probably the last
couple of weeks in really very stark terms
00:41:24
that Europe has to help me out Italy is
got waves and waves of migrant boats
00:41:30
arriving on the shores and Europe is not
doing enough and they say they're not
00:41:35
doing enough because
of these rules whereby
00:41:38
a migrant has to apply for asylum in the
country of which they land is really says
00:41:43
this isn't food just putting all
the emphasis on us so there's
00:41:47
a lot of I could afford
00:41:48
a lot of that Tegan and I really you could
say between France and us leap ahead of
00:41:54
this meeting because France is saying well
if we need to more actually was saying
00:41:59
you don't understand that was the reason
for the meeting essentially they have come
00:42:05
up with no new plan but they have put new
ideas out there which will be discussed
00:42:11
later in the week was the tension just
before the meeting or was the meeting itself
00:42:16
tense before the meeting it was very
tense it's been tense really for about
00:42:21
a week ever since the new telly in
government has started tending back ships
00:42:28
carrying migrants So think back last week
why. We had the case of the Aquarius
00:42:32
which at 630 my good board the Italian said
could not dock there and it had to sail
00:42:38
on to fame at the moment we
have at this minute we have
00:42:43
a ship with 234 migrants adrift in the
Mediterranean is Lee says I'm not
00:42:50
there Moshe said so you've already got them
even before they got to the meeting and
00:42:57
it really was the Italians who came to this
meeting saying we're only going to talk
00:43:01
if you look at our poll Do you think there's
any validity to their complaints or
00:43:06
are they just is it just the direction
of the government that it's
00:43:09
a very hardline stance when it comes to
immigration 5050 is really does have
00:43:15
a lot of migrants slapping on issues
Admittedly it's not as many as they were 3
00:43:19
years ago but they've had some 18000
come this year already so they do have
00:43:25
a problem with what to do with these migrants
how do you process that many migrants
00:43:31
how do you process their claims for
asylum how do you actually have that many
00:43:35
people put through the system to decide
whether they're actually in touch with to
00:43:40
asylum or if they need to be put on
00:43:42
a plane back just because their economic
migrants so you do have that problem
00:43:48
firstly But at the same time you do have
00:43:51
a far more. And Tegan mystic tone to
this debate which we haven't seen
00:43:58
before the numbers of migrant flows but
you have this and tags and you have these
00:44:03
governments saying and nothing is enough
the European Union has to know was there
00:44:08
any progress that came out of this mini
summit the progress is being made really is
00:44:13
the one thing that President my corner
of France has said is that if E.U.
00:44:17
Countries do not accept migrants then they
should have they either their funding
00:44:23
from the European Union canceled or cut
back in some way or they need to actually
00:44:29
take you some money into the pot to help
those countries bring in migrants so that
00:44:35
was one suggestion that really hasn't
fallen on deaf ears and a lot of the E.U.
00:44:41
Governments have been
saying OK that's quite
00:44:43
a good plan another idea really is that
you start talking about opening up camps
00:44:50
which would be run by the United
Nations and possibly be the I.O.M.
00:44:55
These camps could either be in Europe or
they could be in North Africa that these
00:45:01
to take you to camps where people would
be accepted and that's where they would
00:45:06
have their application process so that is
the key if you like the 2 key issues that

is going to go to the next meeting of
the European Union and it's Paris based

Scientists say our sun has been shining for
about the last 4500000000 years the Sun
00:46:38
is expected to have enough hydrogen fuel
in its core to shine for about another
00:46:42
5000000000 years along with producing solar
energy this nuclear fusion is creating
00:46:48
helium once the sun runs out of hydrogen
it will start fusing the helium and begin
00:46:54
another 5000000000 year process that will
eventually result in the suns that the
00:46:59
helium fusion process will cause the sun
to expand and transform itself into
00:47:04
a red giant star according to one who study
as the red giant expands it will lose
00:47:10
mass and expel gas and
dust which will form
00:47:13
a massive glowing ring called the
planetary nebula the sun will be
00:47:17
a white dwarf by then and will eventually
die I feel ways Rick Panta Layo.

V.O.A. These meetings for madness come at
01:01:01
a crucial time I think
the proximity of U.S.

Chinese forces in the South
China Sea is but there are
01:01:07
a number of clashes more recently there
were reports of Chinese using lasers to

disrupt American planes so I think there's
01:01:17
a fundamental difference in the norms and
rules in terms of maritime behavior and I
01:01:22
think we need to sort those out despite
the thorny issue on the table my.

that illegal immigrants must not be

they came from with no legal process
Oklahoma Republican Senator James Lankford
00:00:43
said many of those entering the country
illegally are doing so for purely economic
00:00:47
reasons that's why they're coming from
Central America they're not fleeing the

also have great asylum laws they're coming
00:00:55
to the United States because they want to
have the economic opportunities not just
00:00:58
asylum they're trying to be able come for
economic gains and I don't blame them for
00:01:02
that in Brussels 16 of 28 European Union
countries met Sunday on the divisive issue
00:01:08
of illegal immigration talks described
as frank and open Alexis Tsipras is the

a disappointment because people came out
of the break in to get their news from
00:04:43
that country trying to move
forward out the year for good.
00:04:50
But that is the market back to normal

00:05:00
up public demonstrations were held on

updates coming up right here the wreck of
00:05:40
.
00:05:54
The government of Nigeria imposed to dawn
curfew on Sunday in Central Plateau state
00:06:01
this was after I'd listen 70 people died
in communal clashes between farmers and
00:06:06
semi-nomadic cargoes reports say that
strife in the decades old conflict has
00:06:12
escalated sharply this year but equally
in the ethnically and religiously diverse
00:06:18
hinterland States known as the middle belt
and in Mali communal violence between
00:06:24
hardass and family which originated
partly doing Ling Fatherland has spiraled
00:06:31
into
00:06:31
a cycle of violence and reprised or attacks
that has killed hundreds of people in
00:06:38
the middle belt government and local
sources said that at least 16 full on your
00:06:42
heart has have been killed in suspected
ethnic clashes in the center of the country
00:06:48
and if your peers health
ministry says at least
00:06:51
a 2nd person has died following
the blast site a day at
00:06:56
a political rally in the few opium capital
of. Officials say 150 people were
00:07:02
injured in the explosion if your peers
new prime minister I'd be Ahmed had just
00:07:07
finished his speech at the
rally in the capital when
00:07:11
a grenade exploded
Meanwhile the steel P.S.
00:07:14
That broadcast to say is that at least
30 people including the capital's deputy
00:07:19
chief of police have been arrested in
connection with the blast there's still
00:07:23
a lot of speculation as to the people
and the motive behind this attack with
00:07:28
speculation. That elements within the ruling
party were not happy with the Paris of
00:07:34
what many say are remarkable reforms and
that the new prime minister for context on
00:07:40
what is happening in a few
Opiah I reached Mohamed
00:07:43
a demo an Ethiopian political analyst
and editor here in Washington D.C.
00:07:50
He said big disappointment
because people came to celebrate
00:07:54
a lot of in togetherness and
00:07:56
a country that is trying to move forward
after years of protest and years of time
00:08:01
or. Should not have happened but the city
is you know Maher let's back to normal
00:08:06
according to people on the ground and
moving forward and they have been you know
00:08:12
people are lining up today to donate
to the victims and obviously there are
00:08:17
a lot of people instead of covering the
you have an idea who might want to cause
00:08:25
all these kind of my ham to have
people who are celebrating it's
00:08:28
a very difficult to you know silently
pinpoint who might be behind this but if you
00:08:35
look at. The part Aaron of change taking
place in Ethiopia the fast pace of
00:08:42
change and that is happening towards
00:08:46
a more democratic nation in opening up and
obviously not everyone is happy with in
00:08:52
this case the stylish mentor that has that
that had money all polity on security
00:08:59
matters and when we're deeply involved in
00:09:02
a can in the cab fares an economic
development where not happy with some of the
00:09:07
actions that the new prime minister
I do you know how mad is taking in
00:09:11
a lot of people you know when the incident
happened. Quickly pointed their fingers
00:09:17
at this time policeman and the so called
The Deep State. But also when you look at
00:09:23
the people who have been arrested so far
29 federal police officers including. The
00:09:29
deputy commander of the Decider by.
The city police commission was
00:09:36
arrested so it seems like. They
were arrested for the lax in
00:09:42
security in some people say
00:09:46
a leg that they were suspected of even maybe
giving cover so I think investigation
00:09:52
is ongoing there's
00:09:53
a lot of details here and I think they have
been people deserve some clarity as to
00:10:00
what had been they know obviously this is
00:10:01
a very sensitive time then the government
should handle it very carefully because
00:10:06
if you blame the whole ethnic
group for these same Hennie as
00:10:13
crime that could backfire in leading
another direction for it is
00:10:17
a very delicate matter that needs to be
handled professionally made from. The
00:10:24
government and being transparent about
how many people that I arrested in they
00:10:28
missed against it is ongoing but so far the
majority of Ethiopians think that this
00:10:33
stablish meant the big states behind somehow
made there's been obviously lots of
00:10:38
reforms undertaken by Prime Minister IB
Ahmed which one of these many reforms
00:10:45
the political economic Which one do you
think are more likely to be side discount
00:10:51
of pushback from the whatever you call
the deep stead of the stablish meant.
00:10:57
Generally days time this month is not happy
to. Mooch the country's headed in the
00:11:03
fast pace of change for example let me
give you 3 examples the French one is ran
00:11:07
and got tried to get out position later
it would be about 7 words really as the
00:11:12
prime minister kindly of Ned's comment
something to that effect that he fought.
00:11:18
Tooth and nail to take your Israelis and
he faced opposition in doing that and when
00:11:25
the decision to normalize relations
with Eritrea came down even though. The
00:11:32
Executive Committee of the E.P.A. D.F.
00:11:34
The ruling party voted unanimously to
restore overtone normalizing relations.
00:11:42
T P I left it to Graham People's Liberation
Front came out through the statement
00:11:46
not necessarily opposing it but sort of
going around it to say that the prime
00:11:51
minister was moving fast and he
did not consult with the public
00:11:58
properly even though that was in
00:12:01
a lot of fits of mind an
oxymoron because this is not
00:12:04
a party that is known for transparency or
getting people in puts in decision making
00:12:11
in Thirdly when. He P.L.F.
00:12:15
Issued
00:12:15
a statement one of the more remarkable
things that they pointed out was that. All
00:12:22
the guard. Or the occupying
seats and not doing them
00:12:26
a change in abusing power the whole way and
forced into retirement should should be
00:12:33
honored in that they also suggested that.
00:12:40
That is still ongoing within. The
executive branch it specifically I would.
00:12:48
Think that fell within the security and
intelligence up tight as it were in NY They
00:12:55
were not happy. It would seem. That.
Even though the prime minister and
00:13:02
the full power point. Direct.
00:13:09
People to government they're quite.
Clear that they're losing power and.
00:13:18
They wanted more important more control
over not just appointment of government
00:13:24
officials but also the direction the country
is headed which is that they would.
00:13:30
Want to make the status quo because
the status quo benefits them. And
00:13:37
if European political analyst and editor
I reached him at his home here in
00:13:42
Washington D.C.

Hello everyone I'm Steve Norman Turkish
president rage of Tayyip Erdogan was

The secular leaning opposition candidate
was about 22 percentage points behind or
00:29:33
to one who declared victory for the
People's Alliance an electoral coalition
00:29:38
between his ruling Justice Development
Party and the small Nationalist Movement
00:29:42
parties saying that they have
00:29:43
a parliamentary majority in the 600 member
assembly Reuters Emily weather is in
00:29:50
Istanbul as
00:29:51
a result of incoming in history the 9th
you can have people celebrating on the
00:29:56
streets people hoping that calms and even
the occasional fire away from the main
00:30:02
opposition the Republican
People's Party the C.H.P.
00:30:05
Say it's still too early to concede
defeat. In the days running up to this
00:30:12
thankfulness how to enjoy
00:30:14
a hundreds of thousands to the streets
and finally rallies sitting around.
00:30:23
Positions opposes carrying bags of ballot
papers that they train haven't been
00:30:28
counted as having many
of them. Position and.
00:30:35
Possible. There are some concerns about
the fantasy these elections under the
00:30:41
Constitution that comes into effect now
after this the president will hold
00:30:46
considerable power and critics say that
these enhanced Palis simply put too much
00:30:52
into the hands of one person and the techie
lacks the checks and balances about the
00:30:57
executive presidency.
00:31:04
And
00:31:04
a referendum. Positions tackle the
country's economy and. Rebels
00:31:11
in the south of the country bring Iraq and
Syria that is Reuters Emily with her and
00:31:17
Istanbul for some perspective on Turkey's
election real ways Victor speaks with
00:31:22
their own staunch he is
00:31:24
a resident senior fellow of the roofie
career resetter for the Middle East at the
00:31:29
Atlantic Council. Interesting. To par.
00:31:37
And at the present there was a total of
about 52 percent of the vote so that's
00:31:42
a clear victory that means
that he won't have to do
00:31:45
a 2nd round runoff. At the parliament's
his coalition which is including the far
00:31:51
right that Shalit. Also did well and defying
all expectations but I would say the
00:31:57
story of the selection is that
his coalition partner the M.H.C.
00:32:01
The far right Ashleigh got to 11 percent
of the vote where they had been polling
00:32:06
around 5 percent before the polls open
what does this tell you about the Turkish
00:32:09
voter base electorate of Mark you know after
all these years of him and power he is
00:32:13
still there and he still popular politician
I think what has everybody including me
00:32:19
scratching their heads is how far right
party. Well they had fractured into about
00:32:26
a year ago they didn't even campaign and
yet they were polling around 11 percent at
00:32:31
the moment and that really propelled
party to victory toward. Troll over the
00:32:37
government do you suspect voter fraud I
mean it's always hard to say I mean and I
00:32:42
hate to make make allegations that are
are. Certainly I think what I would say is
00:32:46
that there was particularly amongst the
opposition about that number about that 11
00:32:51
percent number and how do they get it. But
I would say you know the opposition was
00:32:56
out there they were part of ballot boxes
that were found on internal polls and it
00:33:02
seems to be
00:33:03
a black swan Alexion work where nobody
saw this coming as the far right party
00:33:07
completely over performance. And some of
the opposition parties are under for Aaron
00:33:13
how is he going to use his new executive
powers you know I don't mean basically the
00:33:17
status quo. Is he has been ruling under
state of emergency and the failed coup and
00:33:24
it said that they will lift the state of
emergency after this election what this
00:33:27
election is it's the 1st election perturb
these executive presidency so which means
00:33:33
Commodore is officially consolidated in
the office of. Kind of to see the prime
00:33:37
minister is eliminated. Parliament now
because it is controlled by his party the
00:33:44
want the very few elements that they
could check his power and so now I could
00:33:48
rubber stamp it all over the want all the
time and we're now living in the universe
00:33:53
for that at least the next 5 years well I
was going to ask you then is this spill
00:33:56
the end of Global Editor its vision of
00:33:58
a secular Turkey I mean I think
what the election did show is that
00:34:01
a lot of people don't like him until it's
really hard to turn it over to overcoming
00:34:06
these that culture isn't Turkey I mean
they're staring down potential problem with
00:34:11
least on the of the economy and you know
people forget they'll be misspoken lection
00:34:16
and then Mark 20 feet on the Hill want
to control it or are corrupt you know so
00:34:20
we're going to have that whole another
election cycle pretty quickly here and he's
00:34:25
going to be presiding over
00:34:27
a troubled economy so we're going to have
to see how he governs and how he how he
00:34:32
takes to spend days and forwards in the
far right actually trigger that complete
00:34:39
arguing about
00:34:40
a 3rd version. Of the article but what
does this mean for the Middle East Europe
00:34:44
and US I would say it's the
worst outcome for the U.S.
00:34:47
. Because the far right policies
coalition are. To Kurdish and
00:34:54
so you're going to have a hawkish
and inward looking A.K.P.
00:35:00
. If you're more nationalist strong.
Will to compromise for the Middle East
00:35:06

quo you know Turkish position consuming.

President props decision to reverse
00:37:00
a policy of separating immigrant
families coming across the U.S.
00:37:04
Southern border came in the wake of
00:37:06
a political firestorm in recent days be
away national correspondent Jim alone has
00:37:11
more on the political fallout from the
president's reversal President Trump center
00:37:17
stage at a political rally in
Minnesota falling to make immigration
00:37:22
a central issue in this year's congressional
election campaign if you want to
00:37:26
create a You made
00:37:28
a lot of immigration then you need
to retire the Democrats and elect
00:37:35
Republicans to. Finally secure the
border just hours earlier the president
00:37:42
reversed his controversial policy of
separating children from their parents so
00:37:48
we're going to have strong very strong
borders but we're going to keep the families
00:37:52
together Trump backed away from the
separation after an outcry around the country
00:37:58
that included protests. After the release
of children crying out for their
00:38:05
parents. The outrage crossed party lines
00:38:12
and included Democratic Congressman
Elijah Cummings. Agreed that we
00:38:18
will not. Mentally and
00:38:25
hidden away from public view.
Is that. This is the United
00:38:32
States of America advocates of
00:38:35
a tough border policy like art Arthur sided
with the president that large unplugs
00:38:41
been vigil would suggest that we are starting
to you know creep back up the numbers
00:38:46
we saw during the Obama administration the
trouble administration needed to take
00:38:50
action to respond and this is an appropriate
response but many religious leaders
00:38:55
were critical including Catholic monsignor
Kevin Sullivan to use the means of
00:39:01
separating
00:39:02
a child from his or her mother just as
completely unacceptable far out for us as
00:39:09
Americans the immediate political fall out
could hurt the president says analyst
00:39:16
Larry saboteur. It's
00:39:18
a public relations disaster area for the
truth and inspiration and just about
00:39:24
everybody but Truong and his very
strongly in the immigration aids seem
00:39:31
to realize that but sabotage also says
the president's tough stance is aimed at
00:39:37
shoring up his political views the head of
the November election of course they're
00:39:42
focusing on their base they're trying to
make sure that they're going to show up
00:39:46
and go it could make some difference in
close midterm elections trumps poll numbers
00:39:51
have improved of late is especially in the
wake of this summit with North Korea but
00:39:56
the surveys were taken before the firestorm
over separating families at the border
00:40:03
Jim Malone V.O.A.
00:40:04
News Washington and as we've been
reporting many times immigration is
00:40:09
a big issue among European nations
but leaders of 16 countries survived
00:40:14
a frank talk of the emergency meeting
on immigration and emerged with
00:40:19
a beer of some somewhat of
00:40:20
a common purpose on Sunday and German
Chancellor Merkel said the meeting produced
00:40:25
in her words
00:40:26
a lot of goodwill to resolve differences
over migrants Merkel and French. As
00:40:31
Emmanuel McCrone held out little hope they
said would be available to all nations
00:40:36
that would they would come together
and come up with some sort of single
00:40:40
immigration plan Italy's new government
remains opposed to an influx of migrants so
00:40:45
for some perspective on the European
migrants some of the always Laurie London
00:40:51
speaks with Paris based journalists
Catherine field this man is some of her was
00:40:56
originally meant to bring to get this on
the 8 European Union countries and it was
00:41:00
16 European countries came together heads
of government and these are the to clean
00:41:07
the countries that are most affected by the
migration influx so in particular hope
00:41:14
we're looking at was was initially has
been making the running on this is really
00:41:18
has been saying for probably the last
couple of weeks in really very stark terms
00:41:24
that Europe has to help me out Italy is
got waves and waves of migrant boats
00:41:30
arriving on the shores and Europe is not
doing enough and they say they're not
00:41:35
doing enough because
of these rules whereby
00:41:38
a migrant has to apply for asylum in the
country of which they land is really says
00:41:43
this isn't food just putting all
the emphasis on us so there's
00:41:47
a lot of I could afford
00:41:48
a lot of that Tegan and I really you could
say between France and us leap ahead of
00:41:54
this meeting because France is saying well
if we need to more actually was saying
00:41:59
you don't understand that was the reason
for the meeting essentially they have come
00:42:05
up with no new plan but they have put new
ideas out there which will be discussed
00:42:11
later in the week was the tension just
before the meeting or was the meeting itself
00:42:16
tense before the meeting it was very
tense it's been tense really for about
00:42:21
a week ever since the new telly in
government has started tending back ships
00:42:28
carrying migrants So think back last week
why. We had the case of the Aquarius
00:42:32
which at 630 my good board the Italian said
could not dock there and it had to sail
00:42:38
on to fame at the moment we
have at this minute we have
00:42:43
a ship with 234 migrants adrift in the
Mediterranean is Lee says I'm not
00:42:50
there Moshe said so you've already got them
even before they got to the meeting and
00:42:57
it really was the Italians who came to this
meeting saying we're only going to talk
00:43:01
if you look at our poll Do you think there's
any validity to their complaints or
00:43:06
are they just is it just the direction
of the government that it's
00:43:09
a very hardline stance when it comes to
immigration 5050 is really does have
00:43:15
a lot of migrants slapping on issues
Admittedly it's not as many as they were 3
00:43:19
years ago but they've had some 18000
come this year already so they do have
00:43:25
a problem with what to do with these migrants
how do you process that many migrants
00:43:31
how do you process their claims for
asylum how do you actually have that many
00:43:35
people put through the system to decide
whether they're actually in touch with to
00:43:40
asylum or if they need to be put on
00:43:42
a plane back just because their economic
migrants so you do have that problem
00:43:48
firstly But at the same time you do have
00:43:51
a far more. And Tegan mystic tone to
this debate which we haven't seen
00:43:58
before the numbers of migrant flows but
you have this and tags and you have these
00:44:03
governments saying and nothing is enough
the European Union has to know was there
00:44:08
any progress that came out of this mini
summit the progress is being made really is
00:44:13
the one thing that President my corner
of France has said is that if E.U.
00:44:17
Countries do not accept migrants then they
should have they either their funding
00:44:23
from the European Union canceled or cut
back in some way or they need to actually
00:44:29
take you some money into the pot to help
those countries bring in migrants so that
00:44:35
was one suggestion that really hasn't
fallen on deaf ears and a lot of the E.U.
00:44:41
Governments have been
saying OK that's quite
00:44:43
a good plan another idea really is that
you start talking about opening up camps
00:44:50
which would be run by the United
Nations and possibly be the I.O.M.
00:44:55
These camps could either be in Europe or
they could be in North Africa that these
00:45:01
to take you to camps where people would
be accepted and that's where they would
00:45:06
have their application process so that is
the key if you like the 2 key issues that
00:45:13
is going to go to the next meeting of
the European Union and it's Paris based

Scientists say our sun has been shining for
about the last 4500000000 years the Sun
00:46:38
is expected to have enough hydrogen fuel
in its core to shine for about another
00:46:42
5000000000 years along with producing solar
energy this nuclear fusion is creating
00:46:48
helium once the sun runs out of hydrogen
it will start fusing the helium and begin
00:46:54
another 5000000000 year process that will
eventually result in the suns that the
00:46:59
helium fusion process will cause the sun
to expand and transform itself into
00:47:04
a red giant star according to one who study
as the red giant expands it will lose
00:47:10
mass and expel gas and
dust which will form
00:47:13
a massive glowing ring called the
planetary nebula the sun will be
00:47:17
a white dwarf by then and will eventually
die I feel ways Rick Panta Layo.
